re: Question for AntiqueTiger (or anyone else) regarding Mardi Gras doubloons

I dabbled in doubloon collecting in the early 80's. From the best of my knowledge, basic anodized aluminum doubloons were the least collectible unless it was a rare, limited color production. The "multi" colored doubloons brought more money, and the actual bronze, silver, of gold plated brought the most money. The multi-colored and metal doubloons were special ordered by riders and usually given to family or for keepsake.
Zero clue about today's worth. Sadly so much collectible materials were lost during Katrina ... firearms, vehicles, vinyl LP's, artwork, electronics, etc...
